Modular Extensions - HMVC version 5.2

[eluser]wiredesignz[/eluser]
Yes I agree, but I have used a few 3rd party libraries which use odd CamelCase, and converting them all to lowercase solved a lot of problems.

No issue, just a slight change of behaviour:
An include() of a file in a view without a path will try to load from the application/view directory, not from the application/module/view directory anymore.

One other thing, not sure yet it's me or ME: $this->output->cache(2) in modules will give empty cache files.

I've just finished my first CI app so I am pretty new to CI. I'd be interested in getting started with your modular extensions. Could you point me to a good starting point? Docs, examples etc.

PS: using PHP5 is it necessary (recommended) to start with an older version?

[eluser]wiredesignz[/eluser]
There is no functional difference between Versions 4.1 and 5.0, however there is a slight speed increase using PHP5.

You might like to start writing a normal CI application and when you are ready you can move the contents of your application directory into a module (don't move application/config errors or hooks)

If the module name and controller name are the same, the controller can be called from the URL as before, using index.php/controller/method, if the controller name is different from the module name then you would use, index.php/module/controller/method.

Thats about all there is to note, to begin with.

$this->output->cache(); works too in modules, but you need to use $this->load->view('view', $data), not $this->load->view('view', $data, TRUE). The last one returns the rendered view as a string value.

Probably obvious, since there is no output at that point . I wanted to use the output cache for view snippets, but currently I don't see a way to cache these snippets, only full views.

This is not a limitation of ME, but CI.
